AI predicts when coronavirus infections will slow in each country

A new machine learning model uses data from the COVID-19 pandemic in conjunction with a neural network and can determine the efficacy of social distancing measures and better predict viral spread. With current quarantine measures in place, the AI model predicts a plateau in coronavirus infections between April 15-20.

Targeting cell’s own machinery in fight against COVID-19

Coronaviruses rely on the TOP3B enzyme as a host factor, researchers report. Using artificial intelligence and molecular modeling, researchers were able to identify drug candidates that could serve as TOP3B inhibitors. Studies are now underway to test the drug candidates against living cell cultures and viruses, including COVID-19.

Could a smartwatch identify an infection before you start spreading it?

A medical wrist device detected disrupted sleep patterns 24 hours before participants started shedding the flu virus. While the initial study was focused on influenza, researchers speculate the device could be sufficient at spotting the beginning of other infections, including COVID-19. While it should not be considered a full diagnostic device, the wristband data will be useful to guide when people should self isolate as a precaution.

Experimental AI tool predicts which COVID-19 patients develop respiratory disease

AI model determined three key features that accurately predict subsequent, severe disease in COVID-19 patients. The three features were levels of the liver enzyme ALT, reported myalgia, and hemoglobin levels. Based on these three factors, the AI was able to determine ARDS risk with 80% accuracy.
